It's just me and you, Bailey, Jay's just us doing the Minnesota Goodbye.
Jenny is on vacation. She right now as a Friday morning. She
is in somewhere in Washington or Oregon or somewhere ye Worth, Levenworth, I
guess, yeah, like in a hiking space. Yeah. I'm not sure
if she's hiking right at the moment or what's going on. She did send
me a video of a group of old people playing ukulele in a circle.
It's on her Instagram story, I believe, and you can go check that
out, Jenny KT would you be? But it's funny because I don't know
why it is that mostly old people play ukulele, or maybe that's just the
group that she happened to film. But it was a group of like,
you know, forty fifty people, most of them old. They all sitting
around playing ukulele. So they all have time to do so, I guess,
But what about somebody who is twenty five, It has time to play
the guitar, you know why. Maybe it's just something like, Okay,
I want to play an instrument in my old age, so I'm going to
start playing ukulele. And so anyway, go check her out. Ginny is
hiking and being adventuresome and she'll be back on Monday. We were talking earlier
about the fourth of July and how the fourth of July was. You know,
we really got we get ft in Minnesota this summer. We're really getting
ft out of summer. You know, it's great that the days are longer
and it's not icy and snowy. But you know, I love bright,
sunshiny days, right same, I feel like I get I definitely feel you
there. It does obviously has been raining a lot, but when it's not
raining, it's seventy five and sunny and not like ninety five and sunny.
So I'm just like, okay, I'll take the rain. Also, I've
only had to water my garden two times this summer so far. Let's stop
and talk about your garden for a second. So what are you growing?
Where is your garden? Because you live in an apartment, you wouldn't think
that is there like a common ground outside that you can grow a garden in
a lot, So it's not necessarily common. It's just that last year,
I I don't know, I was kind of like eyeing this like dirt slab
on the side of my building, and I'm garden level, so I have
like view of this dirt slab outside my window, and I just shot my
shoot, my shot and asked my landlord if I could plant a garden there,
and he said yes. And so I have these three tiny little plots
that are just between like the apartment windows that I dug up and planted stuff
in, made like little fences around them. So last year was my first
year having it. This year, obviously, I've replanted everything, but I've
you know, made choices on specifically what to plant. So a lot of
it are either snacking things or root vegetables okay, your turn up, yeah,
exactly, yeah, or things that I can like pick off and eat
right away, like peas and cherry tomatoes. Okay, stuff like that.
Oh nice. Yeah. But I planted a bunch of like wild flowers and
just different kinds of flowers because I put those around the fence to make it
pop and look cuter, and every time it rains, they just all the
seats wash away, so like those don't have enough time to like hold roots
unfortunately. Okay, but yeah, I haven't had to water any of it,
which is nice because they never put the hose on my building, and
I've just been stealing those. Okay, building next door. It's funny when
you talk about gardening. I grew up. Gardening wasn't a fun activity for
us. It was like because we did not we weren't poor. I don't
want to say we were poor. We did find but we saved money by
raising our own chickens and raising two giant gardens. Our garden was the size
if you combine our two gardens. We had the north garden and the South
garden. Wow. And and if you combine the two of them would probably
be bigger than most people's yard all together, like the entire footprint of their
yards. They were speaker or something total, probably half an acre garden's garden
it was. It was huge, it was vast, and it was not
fun. We didn't go, oh, let's go check our garden. It
was like, boys, you gotta go work in the garden today now,
pulling weeds, rototilling, watering, putting, whatever. So it was no
fun to me. And I remember when I first moved here, I lived
in Plymouth, and I thought, oh, there's a spot outside for a
garden. So I went down and I rented a rototiller, because you got
to till up the ground before you can plant. So I went down,
rented a rototiller and did something about the size of the average bedroom and planted
it and then quickly didn't care. And so my crops grew up. I
had radishes, carrots are really easy to grow, peas, beans, whatever,
And I quickly didn't care, and I let it go like i'd let
the weeds take over. And I just quickly, I quickly did not care
because I think I realized that, hey, this reminds me of work back
on summer days when I was a kid. Yeah, I'm going to get
into an email because I have a response to this one they say, please
don't say my name. I love listening to all of you. I listen
in the morning that I listened back to the podcast while I'm at work,
I listened to Jenni in Fallance Podcasts, and I spend the rest of my
morning working hours listening to Dave Ramsey, who I think does finances and true
crime. I need to have background, and you guys are my favorite.
Anyway, my aunt says a lot of dumb shit, and this weekend I
was in awe of her as she told her seventy five year old uncle,
you were just a male carrier in Vietnam. Now, I don't know why
that was insulting, but apparently it was very insulting. Our jaws dropped in
utter disbelief. You can imagine, I'm no stranger to a foot in the
mouth moment, but holy fuck, I could not believe it. The audacity.
Again, I don't know why that comment was so insulting, but apparently
it was. That made me think, what was the time you witnessed an
interaction like this, or a time when you said something completely insensitive, rude,
or inappropriate? Ready go, Well, the first one that comes to
mind, and there have probably been many, was we were doing a Be
the Match video in the big performance room down the hall. So it was
me and Fallon and Steve and the guys from Kfan and maybe the guys from
K one O two, and so I was I had I used to wear
bronzer because I'm not a pale I'm a pale person. So I'm standing there
talking to Chris Hockey and we're doing this video for Be the Match with a
man whose teenage son has like kidney cancer, and so they are looking for
a match for his kidney donor or whatever and something like that. And now
remember this man is organizing this whole video and his son has cancer. Remember
that, got it? So I'm talking to Chris Hockey between takes, and
Chris Hockey goes, man, you look good. You wearing bronzer. I
said, man, you know, loud enough the entire room heard me.
Man, Chris, if I didn't wear bronzer, I'd look like I had
cancer. Oh my god, oh god. And and nobody even made an
effort to be on my side, like, oh, but you know what,
I get it, sorry, you know whatever. Everybody was like,
oh, and I'm like, I'm so sorry. I feel so stupid.
I said, that's totally on me. Nobody said that's okay, that's okay.
Everybody wanted to disassociate themselves from me because I said such a stupid fucking
thing. All right, I didn't wear one, I'd look like I have
cancer in front of a man whose son has cancer. My god, what
about you? Can you think of a foot in mouth moment? I don't
know. I don't really say things that are bad, or if I do,
I apologize for them, so then they are lifted from my conscious though
true. Yeah, I guess. Last the other day before we left for
the fourth of July, we were show planning and I mentioned Juneteenth, and
when I said June teenth, I gestured to Vaunt and I felt and he
was like, why are you gesturing to me? And I didn't even think
that that was like a microaggression that I was just like, yeah, you're
black, June teenth, that matters to you. That felt. I felt
so stupid in that moment, and I felt so bad. I apologized later.
Well, you know, Vaunt is like a funny guy and very van
is also the kind of person who, because he says a lot, he
will also put his foot in his mouth here and there. And so we're
very forgiving, you know. And I think that's one of the things.
If you know somebody, you know they're a good person, and you say
something like, oh, well you like Juneteenth, right right, then we
know you're a good person. You're not a goofball, you know. If
you want to write me back and let me know, I won't say your
name. The woman who wrote in about you were just a male carrier in
Vietnam. Why that was so insulting because clearly it was maybe maybe it said
somewhere that they were a VET and they were like, oh, you're not
a real like you didn't see real action. You were just a male Oh
okay, yeah. Because he's seventy five years old, that would be right
around the age of a Vietnam War veteran, right, So if he's like,
yeah, I was a VET, I saw a lot of action in
Vietnam, and they're like, you were just a male carrier. All good,
good interpretation. Yeah, next one, Hello, Dave, Jenny vont
Bailey. I'm always trying to figure out something I could write in and ask
the show since I love your podcast so much, Well, thank you.
First thing, I love that Bailey's on the show. She adds in the
nerdiness that was missing from the show. I love her. Second thing.
On Friday's show last week, Dave did a little DJ puking. What everybody
tried to do their best DJ puking. I think it would sound hilarious.
Thanks, all right, keep on dart licking from Kristen. Now, when
we say DJ puking, what we mean is like DJs back in the day,
they used to kind of talk like this a little bit and I will
tell you there is one person in our building that they're a little bit old
school and they still do this a little bit because they're a DJ. And
that was kind of like DJ's back in the day, maybe back in the
seventies, eighties whatever, That is kind of what you used to talk like.
It is like, hey, it's Dave Ryan on what a one point
three kd WB And it's kind of because you're puking with your voice, and
we would coach everybody in radio don't do that anymore. That is very passe.
Sure, Like I said, there is somebody in the building who stun
still does it not a lot, but they still say all one point three
three a lot of law to point three and so. But now we've learned
talk naturally, and we talk naturally. That is That is so funny because
I sometimes I feel like I've ripped on Vant anytime I've sat in the room
when he has to like record something for like a weekend show or whatever,
and he'd be like, hey, everybody, it's a bunt leak and uh,
I mean having a great day to day or whatever. And he'll always
touch his ear when he does. Oh, like you're like yeah, like
yeah, yeah, and so I pointed it out to him, and then
I think I ruined it for him because then every time he went to take
a do a take, he like touched his ear and he's like, why
did you tell me that? Because now it's super obvious. But I love
that. That's funny to me. I'm glad you've grown out of it.
I don't know why people touch their ear. I think it's because you're supposedly
pushing an ear piece into your ear to hear it better. I'm not sure.
I just always think of Mariah Carey, okay, yeah, And I
give Mariah credit. She probably knows what she's doing. I don't know,
So thank you, Christin. I appreciate that. And peel Oh, I
was going to tell the story people used to say when I first got into
radio. They said, they'd say, do your DJ voice, and I
was kind of like, I used to have. Okay, I'm going to
tell you this is not going to translate well, but when I was new
in radio, we tend to find somebody that we really like on the radio,
and we either consciously or unconsciously mimic the way they sound. And there
was a guy, my first boss and I loved him. I grew up
listening to him, and he had a kind of a voice like this a
little bit, just a little bit, but it sounded really natural, and
so I started talking like that and I was like, hey, it's and
it was on an AM station, fourteen sixty KYSN. Hey it's Dave Ryan
on fourteen sixty kys N. Because I thought I was sounding like this guy
that I really admired. And my girlfriend Cricket, She's like, why do
you sound like you're plugging your nose? And I'm like, I don't know
what you're talking to me out But then I quickly got over that. But
if you go back and listen, it would be mean, what are you
saying? Yeah, people in speech do that all the time too, not
necessarily, not necessarily like the nasal thing, but they I call it speech
voice because they talk in a very specific cadence that they think is the correct
way to do public speaking. And it drives me up the wall because it's
not how real people talk. So I coach my students not to talk that
way, okay, And I'm trying to like find I want to give you
like an example, but I don't know I'll have to find well, if
you can think of one. Yeah, And then there's something that I that
I coach people that I've coached people that work in TV as well, and
TV people. The cliche in TV people is to be like, so we
are here at the courthouse where we just had a converse with the district attorney,
and the district attorney says that she is going to press charges. Everything
is very staccato and kind of weird. And so I've coached TV people to
be like, you know what, watch some of the people in big stations
in big cities, watch people on Channel nine, watch people on Channel five,
and they're just very they're talk they're conversational, you know what I mean.
But the cliche, the TV one, is like, you have to
be very stilted, and you have to be staccato as you talk, and
it's like no, natural works fine, right, And I feel like it's
easier to listen to when you speak more naturally. That absolutely yeah, you're
in like in your DJ voice. Yes, Hello radio besties. I get
a question to comment, Feel free to read one, both or not on
the podcast. This email is purely because I am forty five minutes early to
work, and I can't clock in yet, but if I'm not occupied somewhere
else, I'll start working. And I've been told up by everybody here for
doing free work. Any who question, what are the rules about language on
the radio so arbitrary? Why are they arbitrary? It blows my mind that
you can say things like bitch and jackass but not shit. It feels like
the old laws that made sense in the eighteen hundreds are no longer relevant and
no longer and never get taken off the books. For example, hamburgers may
not be eaten on Sundays law out of Saint Cloud. What more of these
fun nonsense laws are here at this link? But back to the question,
is it as random or it seems? Is there a reason that shit is
more offensive than bitch? Oh? Absolutely, I mean that to me,
it's plain as day. Sure, ass or asshole or ass white. There's
some that seem to blur the lines, like you can legally say goddamn or
goddamn it on the radio, Oh, but it's distasteful, So we don't
sure you can legally say bitch or ass on the radio, but you can't
say shit legally on the radio. You can't even say bullshit, which Jenny
didn't know about five years ago, and she said, well, that's bullshit.
We're like, Jenny, you can't say shit on the radio. So
the rules are so there. Used to be it was seven words you can't
say on the radio, and it was an old comedy routine by an old
school comic who's now gone named George Carlin. You ever heard of George Carlin?
Shit, piss fuck, cunt, cocksucker, motherfucker, and tits,
shit, piss fuck, cunt, cocksucker, motherfucker and tits. Well,
we've said tits on the radio we have, and that one is kind of
you really should not, honestly, I guess it depends if it's like funny,
yeah, like oh, then she went tits up, that's funny,
but it was like, yeah, like sexual or vulgar. Tits up is
like funny but not vulgar. But then yeah, show me your tits is
vulgar and sexual. But shit to me is plain as day. It's just
you wouldn't say it around your three year old, but then again, you
wouldn't say around your career. I guess it's kind of like bitch is sort
of like funny too, like bitch, what are you talking about? Right?
And it's more acceptable now even if you say like you're a bitch,
it's clear that you're like being funny, right, like the sea word.
Like there's no fun context for the sea word. I mean among friends.
If you're there with your friend and let's say it's two women hanging out of
a brewery and one of them keeps buying the beers and the other one won't,
and she's like, you're being a sea word, buy me a beer,
then it's funny. But if like a guy yells out the car window
at some woman like Europe, you know, then it's not like it's not
vulgar and it's insulting and it's disgusting. No, I I totally understand that.
Yeah, you probably rarely use it. No ever, Donald ever spoken
it out loud. Okay, good, I don't want to. So we
got shit piss Like, well now you can kind of say piss me off
or you know, or piss off or whatever. So again it's not as
bad as it used to be. So we got shit piss fuck fuck of
course clearly is the ultimate swhere where everybody knows that one. Then you have
the C word, So is shit, piss, fuck, sea word?
Cocksucker? Okay, cocksucker. Obviously you can't say that one. You know,
friends could say it to each other, like you know, if you're
you know, your best friend, whatever, dent your car, whatever you're
like, you know, I don't know, I can imagine that that being
set on the radio and then just absolute crickets afterwards, like motherfucker. Clearly
can't do that one and tits. So there we go. I don't know.
I personally I think that shit is way more offensive than bitch, but
it might you might not agree. That wasn't in my training, so they
should add that in really on the radio. Well, I think a lot
of it is just kind of common sense. But I hope we answered that
aarin, Thank you very much, appreciate that email. Let's see if we
got another one. Okay, here's one. Nicole writes in I want to
get your opinion. About two months ago, I borrowed five hundred dollars to
my boyfriend of two years on the agreement that he will pay me back.
So it's five hundred dollars two months ago. In the last months, he's
been buying things that he doesn't really need like another lawn chair when he already
has three, but this one has a small table or a water bottle that
adds more oxygen or some kind of shit to it. Why the hell do
you need that while I'm more like Jenny and why do we need more junks?
So I have now been requesting my money that he owes me, and
he is getting pissed and saying that's not how relationships work and how I always
seem to have one foot out the door, when really I'm just trying to
protect myself. I've been burned a lot in the past from ex's so I
don't have that much faith on borrowing money to my boyfriend now. And he
is saying I shouldn't let the past effect what is going on today. Long
story somewhat short. Am I the asshole for asking it back? Thanks for
any input you want to take this one, Bailey, Well, it's your
money. I feel like you shouldn't feel like the asshole if it's You're the
one who did who loaned this money out of the goodness of your heart.
So if you need a back, ask for a back. It's your money.
And he's being the he's being clearly the asshole by not paying you back
and telling you that it's your problem for making a big deal out of it.
Now, five hundred dollars is a lot of money, a lot of
money, and he has not paid any of it back. But he bought
another lawn chair and this one has a small table or water bottle. Okay,
that's funny. I can't imagine what the hell you're talking about it.
But I remember Fallon loaned somebody here that worked at the radio station on the
morning show. Fallon loaned them money. And I think because they needed something
for their car or repair, like three thousands dollars and uh, and this
person was slowly paying them back or not. But then they bought a new
pair of cowboy boots. They went to the Kenny Chesney concert. They went
and they bought like a hoodie from Kitty Chesney and it's like they're wearing it
on social media. And Fallon was pissed because it's like, bitch, that's
my money, that's my money for your tickets and you're not paying me back,
but you went to the Kenny Chesney concert. You gotta be really careful
about loaning anybody money. A lot of people get or either loan out money
or get loaned money on this show or let at least like I've heard of
three separate stories where they're like, I loaned so and so money. What
did you hear well from you? Who you loaned Drake money? Obviously this
Fallon loaned this other person money, yep. And I swear I heard about
somebody else loaning someone else money as well. And it just seems like people
are like, hey, I need money, Oh you do, here's some
and then you just kind of like play musical chairs with all of your money.
Well, I like to be generous and I hate to see people like
need money and not have it, but I do. So I may have
an abundance that I could loan Drake twenty five hundred dollars. Yeah, and
he needed it. I don't remember what he needed it for. But and
I'm not going to sit here and disparage Drake. But I'll he paid back
fifteen hundred dollars and I'll never see it. I'll never I mean he paid
I will never see the last thousands. I wonder if the person who borrowed
the money from Fallon ended up giving any of it back. I don't think
so wild that person got fired and they I don't think have any contact with
Fallon at all. Gosh. And if you don't have any contact with Fallon
or that person that you loan money too, you're probably not going to see
them to say, hey, give that back, where's my money? Yeah,
that's why I said last last week on the show, I said,
never give out money that you expect to get back, because you likely won't
get it back. You likely won't. Yeah, Hey, granted, I
mean it doesn't hurt to ask back. So like our person emailing in about
the five hundred dollars, like, you can still ask for a back,
demand it back. I don't know, start selling his stuff on the side.
Right. Well, I think if you're going to loan anybody money,
you need to put some rules on it. Okay, when are you going
to pay this back? By it, I'm going to loan you twenty five
hundred dollars, When will I see it back? And if they say,
well by next week, then you fucking hold them to next week. Yeah.
And if you and then you have it in writing too, and so
they can't say and even if it's your brother or your friend, but especially
if it's not somebody that you're super close to, then you get it in
writing. So when they say I never said i'd pay it back next week,
you can show them. Look you said here it is by July fifth,
bitch, you would pay it back? So shit right? Would you
look at you? Bitch? And shit in one sentence? Let's work in
the word. Come on, say the sea words. Say it, say
the sea word. Say it. No, you don't have to country a
country music that is so funny. It always surprises me when I hear a
woman say the sea word, because women hate that word. But when and
I've heard women use it, like even women that I can't remember Jenny or
Fallon specifically, but there have been women who've worked on the show and said
I hate her, She's a sea word. And I'm like, WHOA,
that's some powerful speak. I heard Fallon say that one time we went to
lunch. She said it, and I was like, do you remember what
context it was? Was she talking about me? Yeah, she was talking
about specifically. She just went on and on and on it was. But
I think that really you have to have a powerful distaste for another woman to
call a woman a sea word. I think probably in my entire life,
I probably only described two people as a sea word. Unless it's like somebody
who's driving bad, like they're cutting in and out of traffic, or they're
like, you know, on my ass. I'll be like, get up
my ass. You s word? Really yeah, But then I'm not like
directing it to them. They're an anonymous kind of person. A bitch,
that's what I do it, bitch. I'm like, let's go, you
stupid set bets. Well that's a good word. I like that. Then
that's creative. Yeah. We use the word shit ass when I was a
kid. It's in my book because I talk about how when I was about
five years old, my mom was upstairs talking on the phone, and then
I went downstairs picked up the bottom stead the downstairs phone. I picked it
up and I said shit ass. And I got in so much trouble because
as a five year old, you shouldn't know that word, and you certainly
should not pick it up and tell the neighbor lady that my mom was talking
to shit ass. She's talking to like a kind, nice old lady,
or like an insurance provider, like shit ass. Oh, the world,
the world came to a grind it My five year old world came to a
grinding halt because they didn't know what to do. I didn't get spanked for
it, but I remember thinking, oh, I'm in really big trouble.
And they were discussing it like it was like the United Nations gathering to discuss
how should we handle this. They welcome you in like one shining light came
down on you, like, David, why did I don't know? Like
an inquisition? All right, that is it for the Minnesota goodbye. Send
your emails to Ryan Show at KDEWBT on com. I know it's like the
holiday weekend and Bailey and I were talking about how there's no cars on the
road right now as we record this, it is six forty seven in the
morning on Friday. A War of the Roses replay is on the radio,
and we're looking outside and there's really not a lot of traffic. This feels
like a like peak lockdown era. There's no one that was so weird.
Okay, send your emails. Let us know about swearing, what, let
us know about the C word. Anything you want to talk about. Send
